What will proof of election fraud do to the Republican Party?
And how far will it go?

I tend to be guarded in my feelings when it comes to things like this. We've been hopeful before, only to see our hopes come crashing down. So I'm being guardedly optimistic.

If fraud is found, will there be a huge investigation? It seems to me there would have to be.

In your opinion, who knew? Who's behind it all?

I think that shrub might not have been in the know. Remember how he behaved as he was being trounced at the debates? He looked like he was going to have a nervous breakdown. But remember, shrub is just a puppet. Is there a chance we'll get all the puppet handlers?

I scarcely dare to hope.

2. There's legal proof which isn't the same as popular proof. We need to
swing a large group of the public with our proof two or folks will think we're just suing our way to victory.

3. Even with decades of diligent effort by the .....

...Eisenhower Jrs., Kentucky Bartons, the John Warners, et al., it is highly unlikely that any effort to re-build the "Republican party" from the corrupt, theocratic, imperialistic, illegal, totalitarian catastrophe caused by GW Bush and his neocon thugs, can ever succeed.

That's why so many of the true "Republicans" endorsed Senator Kerry.

The 'party of Lincoln' developed a malignant tumor the day Nixon was elected; and with GWBush the 'party of Lincoln' that malignancy metastasized so extensively that it is unlikely anyone can save it.

Peace.

4. They Will Do What they Always Do!
They will blame it on Bill Clinton's cock somehow.

5. I so want something to turn our way for a change
but am holding back because I don't know if I can handle another disappointment.

Maybe someone can help me understand this. Tomorrow Arnebeck will file a lawsuit in the Ohio Supreme court to contest the election based on fraud and disenfranchisement. The electors will be seated (if that's the term), and possibly in addition to the GOP slate, there will be a Dem slate of electors convened. Conyers will hold his hearing at Columbus City Hall (on the steps if necessary).

While all this is going on, Kerry's letter will be delivered to 88 BOEs, who will probably put it in the same place Hackwell put Conyers' letter (in the round file).

The national media FINALLY will give some coverage and millions of people will begin to learn for the first time that this election was far from the well-oiled machine Hackwell wants everyone to think.

But who decides whether a Dem set of electors gets seated? What are Kerry's options if the BOEs ignore his requests?

7. Probably nothing

Republicans these days aren't they types to second-guess or listen to alternative viewpoints, no matter how rational or evidence-heavy it is. Also, since all three branches of the government are stacked with these fraudulant bush cronies, you better believe nothing serious will come of it and all of the secret money and connections that were used the last 20 years will continue to thrive and thwart justice and reason at every turn.

8. my cynical view: it may not prevent the coronation but if we can keep it
in the courts for the next four years, it's a victory for the world!
